Does it depend how many bounces they do? 

More than one, I reckon.

What happened?

At 3-3 with only the last Swedish pen left she waited until the taker had got all the way to putting the ball on the spot, then decided she had a problem with her gloves and wasted at least a minute swapping one. Taker just laughed it off and buried it.

Hope Solo, massive shithead - not like anything is new there.

My earliest memory of the Olympics was Dereck Redmond and his Dad at the Barcelona Olympics. It could bring a tear to a glass eye.

Ignore the soppy bollocks music tho:

Soccer is stupid and the Olympics are for jerks! 

[MDK]

This cycling gold is heart attack

FUCKING YES!

[Bobfoc]

What a race.

Even better to get one over the convicts.

That was special. AND a WR to boot!

Jesus fuck we just almost lost to Serbia in Basketball. What the hell is with this day???

[Meacon Keaton]

Serbia is actually pretty good. But we've not been playing the best we can lately. It worries me that we don't have LeBron around to just take over at any time.

[Bobfoc]

Martyn Rooney just announced that he "ran like a dick". I know it's immature, but that's the funniest thing I've heard today.

Shows how much attention I pay to basketball.  I thought LeBron was on the team

[Meacon Keaton]

Neither him or Steph took part, unfortunately.

[The Lusophone]

Is there really that little strength in depth amongst American basketball players that you're worried you'll lose the one sport in these Olympics that you should expect to win, beyond all others?

[Meacon Keaton]

We expect to win more than just basketball.  

But no, I guess "worries me" was the wrong wording. It's more of "It would be nice to have the best player in the world on our team in those close games". 

Phelps ties two other guys for silver. How bizarre to see a three-way tie for second.

[Bobfoc]

There's just been a three-way dead heat for silver in the men's 200m butterfly. Michael Phelps got one of them.

[Draevyn]

I was very surprised that he didn't get gold in this one. I'm not even American and I was cheering Phelps!

[Meacon Keaton]

Katie Ledecky is just shitting on everybody in this 800m freestyle. As of right now, she's even poopin' on the world record. What a beast.

This is just craziness. She's a body length ahead of her own World Record at this point.

[The Buscher]

Absolutely unreal stuff from Ledecky.  Wow!!!
